I have been going to Nancy for 2 months now and after every session I feel so accomplished. She gives amazing feedback and helps you better understand your situations instead of just looking at you and saying "okay and what else" and that's what I like. I would 100% recommend read more

My partner cheated on me and for some reason this time I couldn't let go. My partner asked for forgiveness and said he was going to help us look for help to save our relationship. We searched and came across this website. I called and made an appointment. Leticia was issued to our first session. With just 1 session, I was amazed at how she was able to have my partner open up about him recognizing he has a problem. We are at the moment going to a few more sessions and today was my solo session. She made me reassure myself of my worth. I never thought of myself ever going to see a counselor and especially to save a relationship when they have cheated, because everyone's instinct is "oh they cheated! their not worth your time move on". But being in this situation, I feel that it is important to see someone. I highly recommend Leticia please come see her. She's very inviting and makes you feel comfortable. read more

Armando is great at getting back to you super quick via calls and texts, and during our first call he went in depth about how the brain works and how Self Help differs from traditional therapy, which I really appreciated. I'm so glad I grew the courage to end the relationship with my last therapist and started coming to Self Help. I've learned so much in only two sessions with Nancy than I did in months with my prior talk therapy sessions. From the first meeting, she dived deep into the root of my "issues" to figure out what started these negative thought patterns, which I really appreciated since I wasn't looking for surface level advice. I thought I was doing a good job with being positive and kinder to myself, but Nancy is like the wise, dependable friend that helps speed up your healing process by showing you different and more positive perspectives. I can't wait to see where I am a few months from now, thanks for everything Self Help & Nancy! read more

I reached out to this center looking for guidance in a very stressful life situation I knew I needed professional help with. I had been to traditional psych therapies a few years ago. In fact, it was 3 years of therapy that, looking back, really on helped me in the first month to deal with the initial reason for seeking help. I which I would have known about Self Help back then and probably would've saved years of therapy that was going no where. From my very first session with Nancy, I felt there was real progress. I got insight to my learned behavior from past experiences and how that affected my reaction/connection to the world around me. Both my internal and external reactions continued to shape the present experiences that caused continued fear and guilt that was paralyzing. I wasn't myself. But with Nancy's guidance, I learned more about my internal processes and that understanding empowered me. Through each session and "homework assignments" I gained new confidence and regained control to bring about a positive behavior change that allows me to enjoy myself again. I also brought my adult son and my husband to these sessions and it has helped them as well. Also, although these sessions were not covered by my PPO insurance I was able to get reimbursed through my Healthcare spending account which is a huge plus. They are very punctual, professional, and responsive. Though sometimes they don't answer the phone right away, they usually respond within the hour when I leave a message. They are very clear about their no show policy at the first visit. They are respectful of your time and they expect respect for theirs as well. I've been to over a dozen sessions and never waited more than 5minutes for my appt. I've had to reschedule twice and never got charged a no show fee because I notified them at least 24hrs in advance. It is a professional practice for excellent self help therapy. read more

Great place! Never thought I would go to therapy but this place has really helped me mentally and i have learned to always put any situation life throws at me to be positive and take it day by day :) Leticia is so kind and finds solutions to what may be bothering me and guides me to a better version of myself that I didn't know I had in me! Thank you Self Help and Especially Leticia! read more

I was anti-therapy for most of my life, I always believed that I could just fix myself out of depression. I'm now 50 years old and still trying to "fix" the same internal issues that I've struggled with for the past 30+ years. It finally occurred to me that my method was not getting the job done. I found Self Help Los Angeles here on Yelp and did further research on their site. Everything that I read gave me a sense that this was what I needed. After the first session with Nancy I knew that I was in the right hands. Nancy's approach is very down to earth, direct and personable, I wanted to give her a huge hug as a thank you because I walked out feeling like a bad ass. I'm mid-way through my first package of sessions and I'm already approaching life with a more productive view point, optimism, and techniques to manage my time and mind. If you're looking to make changes in your life but aren't quite sure how, I highly recommend booking a session(s). read more

After 7 years, my husband and I were in the lowest point in our marriage. Things weren't getting any better, so I decided to Yelp to try and find the best marriage counselors in the area. I called Self Help LA as a final effort to try and restore our marriage before making the decision to throw in the towel and allow us to get a divorce. My initial call was speaking with someone about our situation, letting her know a little bit of information about myself and my husband, and we made the first appointment. We were assigned to Emerzon. About six months prior, we had started going to a marriage counselor, however, our experience with Emerzon was completely different. When my husband and I first walked in, it was like sitting down and talking with a friend about all of the issues our marriage had been facing. He listened, shared stories, and at the end of the first session, gave us the homework that would ultimately start us on the path to restoring balance, and opening a line of communication and understanding that our marriage had been lacking. Our insurance did not cover our counseling, but we decided it would be best for our situation, to purchase the six sessions, in order to allow us the time and work we truly needed to move forward in our marriage. Each session revealed new issues and obstacles that were tearing our marriage apart. However, regardless of what information was sourced, Emerzon was there to offer solutions and outlooks that could not have been realized without his help. We have not completely healed from everything our marriage has been put through, but I can honestly say that I do not think we would be putting in the time or the effort to work things out had I not made this call. read more

Leticia is great! She's helped me a lot with self love & confidence. Location is nice and the receptionist Ally is a sweetheart!!

My fiancé and I have been going to Rafael at Self Help since January of 2020. We were going through a lot individually as well as in our relationship and by the first session he was able to pinpoint some of the potential factors that were contributing to the tensions we were experiencing. We went on to do eight sessions and made such great progress it made me wonder why I waited so long to seek therapy. He taught us how to better understand and embrace one another and our differences. He truly is a remarkable therapist who changed our lives forever. Rafael is a godsend and he has helped us beyond our relationship; our relationship with our children has improved as well as our overall quality of life. I cannot recommend him enough. Aside from our relationship therapy I recently received an email about the crystal light bed therapy and bought sessions that morning for my fiancé and I. Below I will write his review of the therapy from this past Monday. When I walked into the room there was a nice calming energy. The mattress that you lay on resembled an air mattress and when I laid down it felt like I was floating. When they started the light therapy the mattress started to vibrate, music started to play and there were a bunch of lights going off. You would think it would be a lot going on but it's all cohesive and really makes the experience. I went in with a lot of tension and weight in my shoulders so when I started I was super tense laying down, but the sensations slowly helped me to relax. Once I embraced the therapy it felt like a current of energy was flowing through my entire body and lifting me up. It seemed as though I was only there for 15 minutes when it was actually a 45 minute session. When it was over I had a renewed sense of energy and it I felt taller because I realized how scrunched up my body was beforehand. I definitely want to return for the physical healing to bring my therapy full circle. Crystal light bed therapy compliments the guidance we've gotten from Rafael and shows Self Help's dedication to all aspects of self care. read more

Words can't describe or bring justice to of how much Self Help helped my fiancé and I especially NANCY!! We were at an all time low at the beginning of 2020 and if it wasn't for Nancy we don't know where we'd be. There were even times where I had breakdowns and I was able to reach out to Nancy and schedule individual sessions which helped tremendously. She helped us realize a lot about ourselves which enabled us to discover the root of all the issues we were having. One characteristic we loved about Nancy was her ability to understand from each of our perspectives and interpret it in a non biased way by providing examples that help illustrate a clearer picture for both of us to understand. I can't imagine what it would've been like if I went anywhere else. Self help and Nancy saved us. Can't thank them enough!! read more

I have struggled with near crippling anxiety for around 2 years now, and have gone to a "traditional" therapist during that time trying to navigate back to my old self. I can tell you that after 3 sessions with Nancy, I felt the shift in my thinking and life that I had been seeking. Going in is like talking to an old friend. I feel calm, empowered, and thinking more clearly than I have in a long time. I went from fearing everyday tasks and overthinking everything to just LIVING. I am so grateful I made the call to schedule an appointment- it is likely the best thing I could have some for myself . Yes, it can be pricey but I will be the first to tell you it's 100% worth it- it is your health and your life and you cannot put a price on that. I thank you Nancy for what you have helped me accomplish, and look forward to our next session. PS- they also offer energy cleanings, which I am looking forward to booking and will review after! read more

WARNING: This is not traditional talk therapy, it is not a time to complain about how much your life sucks. You need to come ready to work, there is no magic pill that will fix your life, it takes WORK and you must be willing to put in the work!!! Nancy challenged me so much; she asked thought provoking questions, put me in uncomfortable moments during sessions only to help me break out of the patterns that were clearly no longer serving me in my life. I went for a total of 6 sessions and Nancy helped me regain control of my life and take responsibility for my choices. Nancy is truly amazing and I would recommend her and Self Help LA in a heartbeat. read more

I can only say great things about self-help because they have been very useful in my life. My mental health is very important and with a struggling marriage, 7 kids and four baby mamas not. You can imagine the hardship we have created with a blended family read more

Life changing!Emerzon is an amazing mentor , it's like talking to a girlfriend but 10 times BETTER. Emerzon has given me the tools I needed to change my life. When I started to change, it was like a domino effect. My life and relationship with people started to shift. Every session is powerful. I leave having learned something new about my self and feeling refreshed. I was going through a difficult time in my relationship when I first had my session with Emerzon.Since then, I have experienced a great deal of personal growth, which has improved our relationship. This is definitely not your typical therapy. I feel happier and I'm learning to live more in the moment! read more

Going through grieving process and copping with reality, Dr. Wes helped me realize how to just be still and breathe. It's will be a continuing process but I'm willingly ready to try. After my first session; I look at how I process, how I control the situation not how others. Ally, the receptionist was compassionate and understanding. Also Directed me to additional help. She was very supportive. I greatly appreciated Ally going beyond to help me accomplish what I needed today. Dr. Wes and Ally really do Listen. read more

Very welcoming and positive first time going to counseling! Nancy is very real and doesn't try to dissect you like some may expect. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Overall Self Help Los Angeles was very welcoming and accommodating to my last minute requests for help sooner rather than later. I met with Rafael for a total of six sessions that were shared with my husband for marriage counseling. We benefited greatly from each session and realized we should have tried couples counseling a lot sooner. It was not a cure all, end all to our problems but we gained some great tips to handle disagreements when they do arise. I would highly recommend Rafael and the whole self help team for marriage therapy. It's definitely an investment, but one worth making for yourself and your relationship. read more

I started going to Nancy the week after my fiancé broke up with me. It was definitely one of the hardest things I had gone through in my life. I knew that the best thing I could do for myself was to find a healthy way to heal. The idea of therapy is daunting to some, but believe me when I say that everyone can benefit from it. My experience with Nancy was more than just talking about relationship issues and identifying ways to improve myself, but it was more a release of all the negative aspects of my life I had been holding on to for far too long. I've been to therapy quite regularly over the last 3 months and it's the greatest thing I could have ever done for myself. Complete professionals. Compassionate and helpful. I can't say enough good things about my experience with Self Help. read more

I'd never undergone therapy before, & was a little nervous about giving it a try. Some recommendations for a therapist were either too far, too busy, or just too expensive, but after combing through Yelp, I found these guys. Natalie on the phone was very sweet & understood my apprehension towards talking to a stranger, let alone a "shrink", about my problems. However, I figured I wasn't doing any better trying to work through my problems on my own, or even through talking to family or friends, & so decided it was time to pull out the big guns & booked an appointment. Just as promised, I felt tremendously better after the first session, & have continued to regularly book appointments with Rafael. Admittedly, I would hit a wall in my progress where I felt I would take two giant leaps forward only to fall back a step, but the thing I found with therapy is you have to be willing to accept the help, have to be willing to make some changes, & have to be willing to move past your problems. Rafael would go through exercises with me to really evaluate myself & whatever was troubling me, on top of the traditional talking aspect, & would sometimes even assign homework. But fret not, it isn't the same read-a-chapter-&-answer-some-questions homework you would get in school. He really tries to incorporate different activities to really get you engaged in your own healing process, instead of just showing up to cry on the couch for an hour a week. Overall, I have had a good experience with Self Help & Rafael, & believe it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my life. Highly recommend! read more

I am so grateful for self help Armando Perez helped my daughter After a heart broken from a relationship, and I was amazed with her positive results. And knew I need it to come and see him too. I was having a hard time as a wife as a mother And In just a few sessions I had learned a better way to think and comunícate, Armando is a very kind and sweet, He is best of what he does, help others Live a better life. I highly recommend. Thank you Armando! read more

I went here yesterday and had an overall amazing experience. It was my first time trying a quantum resonance bed; something I had been wanting to do for a few years now and was glad I finally did. The office itself is super clean, calm and comfortable. Nathalie was very informative and immediately made me feel at ease. When I had arrived, my anxiety was through the roof; I had a few very stressful days leading up to my appointment. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but was able to completely sink into the experience. If you've had trouble getting in the meditative mindset (as I do) but just can't, this is a good way to get there. It wasn't far into the session before I felt a slight spinning or release sensation swirling through my body. The combination of the music (via headphones), crystals, and vibration of the bed is not only relaxing, but it leaves you feeling grounded and in tune. By the time I left I felt like my anxiety had melted away.  I'm already looking forward to my next appointment. read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for the answers on being your true self. Emerzon is so awesome! He has helped me tremendously on having a more positive outlook on life. Emerzon's guidance and willingness to pay attention and offer genuine and caring alternatives to handle life's situations has been nothing short of amazing. He has taught me ways to handle anxiety. He helped me through a big break-up. His advice is always on-point and he never judges. He always, ALWAYS offers words of wisdom and makes me feel better whenever I talk to him. If you are looking for a genuine, caring, intelligent guide-please ask for Emerzon-you will not be disappointed! Trust me! read more

I have had two sessions with Leticia and she's wonderful. I waited a bit to complete my review because I really wanted to see how different I feel. I feel lighter and was able to change my mindset quickly on certain things. I still have a long way to go but I have had a strong beginning change. read more

Had my first session with Leticia. She is amazing and has opened my eyes to see things in a different perspective.

I have been seeing Nancy since July of this year. She has counseled me through some really tough issues and has given me some tools to work through them. I am super grateful for the type of work and therapy they do at Self Help. I continue to see Nancy almost every week because healing isn't an instant fix or a one time thing. It's definitely a process and a journey and I am so happy I was referred this center. It has helped me so much, there is such a stigma around therapy and I don't know why. I think it's absolutely necessary for everyone. Nancy at self help is so great. I feel like she really understands me and she has great feedback and outlook on everything I talk to her about. I would definitely recommend this place and giving it a try if you are looking for a therapist. read more

When I started therapy, it was just months after ending a long term relationship. In my mind, I had come up with all the reasons that the relationship had failed, and I had an agenda of things I wanted to "fix" about myself so I would never experience that discomfort and heartbreak again. WELL! Did I have another thing coming! After my first session with Nancy, it was clear to me that my "lens" could use some adjustment. The beautiful thing about therapy is that you may go in wanting to fix one thing, but come out realizing the issue is something else entirely! Nancy helped me to hone in on things about my personal life that I hadn't even considered as roadblocks (but they were), and taught me techniques to approach them that I have been using EVERY DAY since. Needless to say, my life has been changed for the better since my journey with Nancy began. Since that first session, I've had several breakthroughs, and I see myself returning for the foreseeable future as life continues to "happen!" In addition to fantastic sessions, I want to add a few other things: both rooms I've been in have always been clean and beautifully decorated, they feel welcoming and homey (which I find is important to let your guard down). The staff that contacts me on the phone is always cheerful and friendly, ready to work with me in any way possible. My therapist (Nancy) is always communicative, helpful, organized and understanding. I sense nothing but "good vibes" here, and a true desire from staff and therapists alike to help you live your best life. Can't think of anything better than that! I highly recommend Nancy & Self-Help LA, and if you're considering giving it a try... do it! You're worth it. read more

I've been seeing Nancy for a few weeks. Nancy really does a great job at dissecting the issue and looking at it from a different perspective which makes sense. As opposed to talk therapy (where I feel like I'm just nagging and crying about my mental problems), Nancy really goes into detail. She also sends you home with techniques. Next week I'll have my third visit and while I am still struggling, I truly feel like I've progressed and can honestly say that Nancy understands wtf I go through. I look forward to updating my review in the next 3/6 months! read more

Did an introductory session not really knowing what I was getting into and am so glad I did. Leticia's exercises and guidance really helped clear my mind. I felt a weight lifted off me and I'm looking forward to continuing to learn methods for putting things in perspective to lead a happier, more fulfilled life. read more

I just recently started going to these sessions and honestly It has helped me become more aware and conscious about situations in my life. I'm glad I have sought help and hope to become a better person. read more

Loved the experience with Nancy, my daughter comes out with a Smile every time I bring her continuing her therapy has helped so much for her

I love coming here. I've been seeing Nancy for about a month now and I'm already seeing improvement. Together with Nancy we do exercises that have let me heal some issues I've had. Nancy also gives you homework to do when you're not seeing her which helps. If you need a therapist then I'd highly recommend Nancy because she's relatable and comes from a place of genuine kindness. read more

First time here and I will definitely be back . From just one session I learned a lot and realized a lot not only about myself but about us people as a whole. I am definitely coming back. read more

I would like to say this Place is awesome, I am not the type of person that like to share personal problems with somebody else but when I made the call to request information they made me feel comfortable on the phone and I decided to give it a try even though I was a little bit skeptical about the whole thing but after the first appointment Wes made us feel comfortable and good with the whole situation, He only used true facts and common sense about our situation and really helped us a lot, thank you and I highly recommend this place 110% , thank you again !!! read more

I had my first session on Saturday with Leticia. I have been suffering with a phobia that is now causing me to be afraid of driving . I went in and she made me realize that we need to change how our subconscious mind thinks. That I don't have anything it's just my mind that is making me think and feel those feelings. I need to think positive thoughts because we manifest what we think. I'm looking forward to the sessions and will be free in no time! read more

What an AMAZING, eye opening experience! I never write reviews but Tim was such a great person to work with that I have to tell everyone about it. I have gone to multiple therapists before and each had helped me in their own way but Tim's style was completely different. His approach made me learn so much about myself, my friends, my family, and how I was just living life in general. I used to get really bad anxiety and depression. I would have some really bad days where I would just question, "Why am I like this? What's wrong with me?" And just could never figure it out. Tim helped me work through my issues and gave me a different perspective on things. Therapy isn't magic. It really takes a lot of work from the individual and someone as special as Tim to really give someone the tools to handle downers like anxiety or depression. Someone has to come into therapy willing and open minded. Nowadays my anxiety is way more controlled and I have a more positive perspective about life. I have never felt so LIBERATED! Thanks Tim!! read more

This is my first review ever, but I just had to do it ! Tim Delgado is an amazing person that helped me get out of a hell hole I was digging myself deeper and deeper in. When I first started I was a little skeptical ,especially when he was like "you will start to feel better as soon as the second or third session" initially I called bullshit ,in my head of course, but he was right. By 3rd session I was feeling much more optimistic and really looked foward to the meetings. Tim you are the real MVP ... I've tried other types of therapies and that shit was garbage! Tim is the real deal people G. O. A. T. read more

My husband and I had our first appointment and honestly it feels like we are off to a good start! Very kind staff! Thank you and will be continuing with sessions here!!!!! read more

I have been seeing Nancy for 4 months now and i couldnt be more thankful for her. I went to see her at the lowest point in my life mentally and gradually every week i felt more and more relief. She taught me how to cope and overcome my anxiety. Today im happy to share that im finally free again and i really have her to thank for that! read more

I would highly recommend coming to Self-Help LA for marriage counseling and personal therapy. My husband and I initially came in to help save our marriage and we found that it is also helping us as individuals. A special thank you to Nancy for her professionalism but also for making us feel comfortable. It is a personal investment and we are thankful that we decided to give it a try! read more

I've tried a few sessions of therapy from psychology to psychiatrist, maybe about a total of 10 between the both. They just sit there and listen and take a lot of notes. Not sure if I even got anything out of it... maybe if I had gone longer. I went to Armando about 6 months ago for help and he provided some much needed practical solutions to some of my personal issues including sadness and over consumption of alcohol. Also not having a job. He struck at my issues in just TWO sessions. I can happily say that I have a job, I don't over due the alcohol, and I'm trying to deal with the day to day stuff a bit easier. Just recently I went to him for "relationship counseling", while we tried a regular therapist first that said "we needed to try" and that we have "deep rooted issues". There is no arguing that Armando did in ONE session what the psychologist wouldn't even dare to imagine. We were able to leave with tangible tools of things to try at home along with REAL reasons why we had our ongoing issues. His method is not one that can be described... it's pretty deep. You can feel it inside you... you may laugh, cry, or even feel nothing but it works. He can work with the most hidden emotions, habits, etc that we have and rapidly provide some answers. Good luck in your daily battles! read more
